18 Ukhuholiwa khwa Yeisu khwale nde. Umamaye, UMaliya, UYosefu, vu ahilikhe eindanda sakha, vuva khamale ukhutolana pu UMaliya akhavonekha ukhuta aleinonehigo mumakha ga mepo umbalanche.
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 Ugosi va mwene u Yosefu ale munu golofu sanogwe ukhukoncha isoni pa vanu. Pu akhalamula ukhundekha u ng'eincha va mwene khuvutitu avanu khitaluanya.
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 Pu avile isaga ndavule usuhwa Vantwa akhambonekhela mu njosi, akhata, “Yosefu mwana va Daudi, ulekhe ukhudwaada ukhutola uMaliyamu ndu dala vakho, ulwa khuva unchigo ugwaleinagwo gwa makha gamepo umbalanche.
But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Puyaihola umwana udeemi puyavukhupa eitawa lya mwene vei Yesu, ulwa khuva ayikuvapo kha avanu va mwene.”
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Aga gooni gahumile ukhuvonesya khila eikhikhyanchoviwe nu Ntwa ukhugendela munya malago vuita,
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 “Lola, ung'enja uvisagonile nu gosi lusikhu pu iva nu chigo nu khuhola umwana udeemi, puvikhumwilangaga eilitawa lya mwene Imanueli”— khukhuta uNguluve paninie nufwe.”
“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 U Yosefu akhasisimukha mutulu nukhugaha nduvu usuhwa va Nguluve ambulile ukhuta atole ave idala va mwene.
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
25 Pu leino sa gone nave impakha avile aholile umwana udeemi pu akhamwilanga eitawa lya mwene vei Yesu.
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
